As a travel agent and wedding planner, I travel quite a bit. I stay everywhere...whether its research for clients, being schmoozed by a property and for my own personal getaways. This apartment is by far one of my favourite places that I have every stayed in my travels around Jamaica. It really felt like I came home for a few days to my very own vacation home:). I didn't have any of the "get settled in transience" that I usually feel which generally takes me a day or two to get comfortable. I walked in and it immediately felt like home. The decor is warm and welcoming and the apartment is beautifully finished with real paintings, a state of the art, tv/steroe system with a fabulous surround sound that has speakers in the bathroom which makes for awesome long, hot showers!Sheldon went over and beyond to add elements and items that you would need for the first few days and I found that so wonderfully thoughtful. I had fresh fruit, bottled water, tea and coffee with sweetener, species etc in case i wanted to cook and he even left me a bottle of red wine and my favourite Jamaican white rum and ting which is my cocktail of choice when I'm on island. He obviously listened and took notes when we talked before I booked :).I am so pleased that I stayed here for a few days as it's certainly become my oasis. I will most definitely be back again and again. I feel like I have found my very own hidden paradise in Kingston. A space where I can be totally comfortable or entertain in style. I recommend this property wholeheartedly an my only concern is that pretty soon it will be an open secret!

Ophellia! Ophellia! Ophellia...This amazingly unassuming, meticulous, well-spoken and talented Canadian resident, originally hails from St. Elizabeth in the southern section of Jamaica.

Ophellia McKnight is a veteran world-traveler whom I met while dining out one Friday evening at my favourite local fish spot and bar, The Cove.

Ophellia has over 13 years’ experience organizing and planning awesome weddings and special events for her clients from varied backgrounds. As an event planner, Ophellia is a strategic planner with great attention to detail, excellent verbal and written communication skills, and superb negotiating skills.

A client focused entrepreneur, Ophellia is a multi-tasker at heart when it comes to managing schedules for destination weddings and getaways in Jamaica and the Caribbean. She delivers all that and more with the aid of her full-service team of certified coordinators. Enough said!

In closing, Ophellia is Choose To Be Happy's only guest to date who so thoughtfully left a generous tip for Ms. Brown, our cleaning staff - thank you so much for such a kind gesture Ophellia!

CTBH is truly honoured to recommend Ophellia McKnight as a guest at any FlipKey/Tripadvisor vacation rental property.

My time at CTBH was amazing! The place was exactly as pictured, clean, nice lay out and quite comfortable. The host Sheldon, couldn't have been more gracious. The location was ideal and the pool was an added touch. Will definitely stay again upon my next visit!!

WOW! Audrey vacationed with us for 7 nights and simply did not want to leave. This lady accomplished so much in so little time. In lots of ways she reminded me of the "younger ME" - vivacious, adventurous, friendly and most of all full of fun. "She loves life and everything about it!" I'm really looking forward to hosting & welcoming Audrey to CTBH anytime she returns to "The Rock".
